FLOODS - AGNES BANKS (NSW)

Hello and Welcome Back... Had the chance to check out the damage at Agnes Banks, NSW about 20 mins from where i Live..

Agnes Banks is nestled between Richmond NSW & Penrith / Blue Mountains...

Because it has a Low Lying bridge to cross, it often floods but i have never seen the destruction of this flood just past... What was beautiful ferns and pine trees with lush green grassed areas that was stunning to walk thru, it has now been obliterated with trees, signs, & carparks that are no longer, with such force, many signs & trees ripped out of the ground...

The smell was horrid...

My son is currently learning to get his license so we went to have a look...

YAESU VX-6 REVIEW

Hello and Welcome Back... Programming is Now Available for the Small but Amazing Yaesu VX-6

This Wicked little radio can access Amateur Radio, AM / FM, Airband, Shortwave, Marine, UHF Military & UHF CB...

The first thing you notice about this small but mighty radio is that its made of Metal... Yes, its made in Japan and its Metal, Not Plastic...

Its Also Waterproof and Amazingly Affordable... You can Receive from 504kHz to 998.99Mhz with a Transmit range of 144 / 222/ 430 mhz

The Yaesu VX-6 is currently available from Strictly Ham in Melbourne, Vic for $295* See Here

I highly recommend this radio, mostly for Airband... Its excellent

(Did someone say Modification?)

There is a Modification that is easy to do and when finished will allow to Transmit on Marine Band, Air Band, UHF CB, Shortwave???... I haven't done it on mine.. but apart from blowing your warranty, its also illegal to transmit on Airband without a license... To modify your radio, its basically taking the battery off and removing a small plastic panel, then unsolder a small pin (No 4 Pin) and that's it... Reset the radio when finished and the transmit works...
